Anna's Happy Birthday






On May 30th, Anna turned 4 years old!  Time is going by way too quickly!  Our birthday traditions include your choice of cake/dessert and anything you want for dinner.  The kids always want a home made dessert and meal.  Of course Anna wanted a princess theme this year.  Our princess helped pick out the party supplies and she chose pink roses for the cake we made together.  Dark chocolate cake with buttercream icing.  Oh yeah, and lots of extra butterfly sprinkles!  Her favorite spaghetti for dinner.  Anna has waited through everyone else's birthday this Spring so we could tell she was going to take full advantage of the day..... in keeping with the princess attitude.  She sweetly asked her Daddy if he was taking her out to lunch for her birthday and as the Steven Curtis Chapman, "Cinderella" song plays lovingly in our heads, Scott put a busy morning aside to take his Cinderella to lunch.  She picked McDonalds (Mom usually says NO to that request) and they went shopping for her choice of birthday balloons.  What a JOY you are to us Princess Anna Faith Rui Henderson!  Thank you God for this wonderful surprise of LOVE!  We are forever grateful for this precious daughter....... we longed for so many years.

You will always hold a special place in my heart because I know deep down that you were there for my Emily each night as you two lay in your cribs waiting for your mommy's to come ... You are beautiful, bright and a light to this world ... HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ... love from all the Oatsvall Team

Happy Birthday to you, Anna!! We have an Anna, too!:) She just turned 4 yrs. old at the end of April and we celebrated with a princess party just like yours.
Hope you had a wonderful day!

I found out that you are one of the Pingjang group from Becky B. and others in your travel group.

I hope to visit here more often.
